crowded Into so short a speech us that
delivered by Mr. Lowery on this occasion.
We have heard nearly all the speeches
made in this city sinco the commences
ment of the temperance agitation, and of
them all Mr, Lowery's was the best;
and ut Its close a number of men, who
before held out again&t all efiorts to in
duce them to become members of the
club, walked up find signed the pledge.
So much for Lowery's first effort. By
special request Mr. Lowery will address

we advise all who desire to hear the sub
